Confucius Institute hides its identity to avoid scrutiny

Where there used to be 103 college branches of the Confucius Institute, there are now only 51 as the US government oversight and faculty pushback has diminished the institute's influence over the malleable minds of our young. But these programs are not so easily vanishing without a strong effort on the part of the Chinese Communists as some programs just changed their names and are still being taught.

This name changing allows the Beijing-backed influence program to continue to shape the education of students from kindergartners to college students with the hope that they will one day carry on in the footsteps of Antifa and other "hate America" organizations.

According to a new report by the American Security Institute, more than 100 "Confucius classrooms" that cater to the K-12 system are now rebranded as the Asia Society Chinese Language Partner Network.

"Confucius Institutes are trying to repackage themselves—same old wine, brand new bottle," Will Coggin, managing director of the American Security Institute, told the Washington Free Beacon.

It's clear that the American education system is not easily convinced to cut ties with Chinese in our schools. 

 Hanban is the Chinese Ministry of Education-backed group that runs the Confucius Institute. It has spent over $100 million to support the institutes in U.S. universities, many who fear that funding cuts will create program cuts and money shortfalls. 

There is a similarity in the goals of the China-funded programs as there are with the Islamic-funded programs that also exist in universities, especially the prestigious ones like Harvard, for example. Their goals are to infiltrate the minds of our youth and indoctrinate them to their ways of thinking.

And if we continue to allow it, organizations like Antifa and Black Lives Matter will be child's play in comparison what the propaganda that these organizations will bring.

Chinese money isn't worth the strings attached to it. 

A bipartisan Senate report found that the Confucius Institute curtails academic freedom because the Chinese government controls "nearly every aspect" of the program in the United States. Instructors must follow Chinese laws and will not allow them to discuss anything that counters the CCP. 

Once Congress pursued legislation to rein in the Confucius Institute—including a bill that won unanimous support in the Senate—host institutions started to rebrand their China partnerships because the money was more important to them than academic freedom and morality.

Asia Society, a U.S.-based nonprofit with ties to Communist China, helped the regime establish more than 100 Confucius classrooms in elementary, middle, and high schools across the country. 

Until late 2020, the nonprofit touted its collaboration with the China-backed program on its website, according to the American Security Institute report.

Asia Society's website no longer mentions the propaganda program. It has replaced all mention of the Confucius Institute with its new name, the Chinese Language Partner Network. 

It's the same crap but now it's served as an ice cream cone.
